Love Met Life Pet Insurance

We’ve had Met Life 2 years or so, excellent experiences, easy online processing, claims reimbursed within a week or so , very important customer service is great . We’ve had several emergency room visits they were covered and Drs. Appointments , blood work and meds covered . I’d recommend MetLife 💯percent ..

Terrible company

This is the worse insurance company I've ever had. They have terrible customer service, they take months to give you your money back from a claim and won't cancel you when you ask them to. I was fed up with their terrible customer service, and waiting months to get my claim money back, so I asked them on the phone in January to cancel my policy. They said they would and they sent me an email to submit a cancellation request. I filled it out and sent it back. In February I was charged $80 for my policy that should have already been cancelled. I call in to ask about it and the lady says, " Oh yeah that's so weird. It looks like that policy was cancelled but a new one was opened and that's why you were charged this month." I told her I cancelled my policy completely with y'all and nothing should be active. I never opened a new one. She said " I will make sure everything is cancelled and we will refund you that money." So they sent me another cancellation request email to fill out and I did. I've been waiting 5 days now to get money that was taken from me without approval. Which made me negative in my bank account because I didn't have $80 to spend in the first place. These people will be rude to you on the phone, not cancel your policy when you ask them to, not give you your money back for a claim until months later, and steal money from you without consent. Terrible company, terrible insurance, terrible customer service. 0 out of 10. Would not recommend to anyone. This company only cares about money, not you.

Worst service I've ever used

Worst service I've ever used. Completely fraudulent just like all the reviews state. They never pay claims, and I've been on a call with them for over 40 minutes trying to cancel the service. Don't waste your money. All their responses to reviews are the same canned response. Follow up: See their "cut and paste" response below, they live in an irony free zone it seems.

Pet insurance

I have 4 pets, three of which are insured by MetLife and one is insured by Nationwide. I have had my nationwide policy for over 6 years and originally had 2 cats on the policy. I was grandfathered in and wasn’t offered the same deal for my other pets when I got them. MetLife provided a policy similar to that of nationwide, so I took it. Thankfully my pets have been relatively healthy. The times I’ve filed a claim with MetLife, I have never had any problems. I have been reimbursed the appropriate amount within about a week. I find the best way to contact them is to call them . I hope that if one of my pets is in need of costly healthcare treatment, MetLife will continue to cover the costs agreed upon in the insurance policy for which I have been paying for. Nationwide was a godsend for me, when my cat was diagnosed with lung cancer and needed chemotherapy . When I had to put him to rest, Nationwide paid for his euthanasia and cremation, they also refunded me for the remaining days of the month. I was sent a condolence letter and given information on pet grieving services as well. MetLife has big shoes to fill if I ever face a situation like that again. For now, I am very happy with MetLife.

Metlife Pet Insurance committed fraud…

Metlife Pet Insurance committed fraud by not reimbursing my wife any of the vet costs she incurred last summer for her pet rabbit. We complained to the BBB and some government regulatory agencies, but Metlife refused to budge. They owe my wife around $275 for vet costs. I definitely don't recommend Metlife Pet Insurance to anyone else.
